[QUOTE="dullonien, post: 1104163, member: 13739"] I'm quite comfortouble with Anscombe now, I think he's shown enough to prove that je's over his injury. When he came straight back in for the AI's last year he was definitely undercooked, but he's shown enough this season. Agree on Jarrod Evans though, he should have been handed thr reigns 3 years ago and let him flourish. A little like France did with Ntmack, he came into the French side with raw potential and given time to settle and gain confidence. Pivac (and Dai to a lesser degree) have done the opposite with Jarrod. Yes his game management can be questioned, as can his kicking from hand, but he also has to contend with playing behind a weak pack at Cardiff all too often which is always difficult for a 10. Jarrods range of passing and timing of the pass are second to none though, and that can often unlock even the best defense. Lloyd is a difficult one. The guy just isn't playing enough for Bristol. He's also stated that he wants to play at 12, but other than 10min v Scarlets last season where he up an injury he's not had much opportunity there. Costellow should get an opportunity this autumn which is great as he's really stepped up this season. His defense is solid for a player his size and he offers a lot in attack with his running game. He's quite similar to a young Anscombe actually with similar strengths and weaknesses. Patchell is the 10 I would love to see more of, but injury has followed him everywhere. Scarlets played some unbelievable rugby with him pulling the strings anf he's shown glimpses for Wales too. Useful boot as well. Defense always been an issue, but other sides manage with iffy defensive 10's. Hopefully he can stay fit and challenge Costellow this season at Scarlets and put his hand up for the WC [/QUOTE]
